iPhone 5S / iPhone 5C: Foxconn to take on 90,000 staff to cope with demand

Apple’s main manufacturing partner is embarking on a massive hiring drive, reports suggest, ahead of the anticipated arrival of fresh iProduct in a matter of weeks.

According to Focus Taiwan, Foxconn is looking to swell its workforce by 90,000 to cope with demand for the next iPhone and, quite possibly, a low-cost stablemate, which it now seems we must call the iPhone 5C.

Foxconn's employment drive apparently confirms rumours that Apple will once again debut a new smartphone in September.
